Description:	Butternut is one of North American’s most beautiful timbers. It is a golden brown member of the walnut family with a cathedral grain pattern looking like wavers breaking on a beach. At one time considered “poor man’s walnut” butternut is now blighting and only found in 10% of it’s former range. Butternut is domestic timber that is member of the Walnut family Once commonly found across the US, but is dying due to disease Material is becoming tough to find, but can still be used for most projects Widely used in all sorts of projects but it is worth noting it is a very good carving wood because the grain can be carved from either direction The color is much lighter then any other member of the walnut family Golden Brown Color with fine wavy texture
